My Interlingual Rendition

DOULOS TRIP

2007-01-13T23:46:00.000+08:00

The largest & oldest floating bookstore in the world is here in Manila Philippines. My youth group from church and I went to check some books. There I saw some friends (officemate, high school, and college friends). It was indeed an unforgettable experience for me; the ship is really nice (by the way it’s my first time to be in a ship). There were too many people inside and even the line is too long from the outside. My sister and I were able to buy some good books but the atmosphere is just too warm for me. Outside the bookstore while falling-in-line for ice cream (the nearest food I could buy)… I’m too dizzy and starving that I almost fainted. But still GOD IS MY STRENGTH. Thanks for all those people who help: Zarah (my sister), and church mates Annie, Candy, and Carrie.

But one thing I learned from past experience: I your too hungry never eat a big meal at once, but instead eat something w/sugar little food at first plus drink water, that if you don’t want to end up in E.R. like me.

From a really nice text quote:
As we travel through life, pastures are not always green not waters still. But when storms beat the hardest, GOD draws near & whispers: “I AM HERE.”

Big Day

2006-11-12T23:20:00.000+08:00

What a wonderful day! Today, my family and I were invited to attend “Jesus the Messiah World Ministries” in Cubao, where they celebrated the anniversary of Recover All Ministries entitled “RAM Festival.” The place was jump pack for several churches like AG and others attend the said event.

After years of waiting, finally we were able to meet Bishop Abraham Gaor, the founder of “RAM.” He is a Bishop who had been traveling all over the world (most of his life) to spread the good news and to bring back lost wounds from several churches. He even represented the Christian Churches to meet President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (Philippine President) to pray for her entire government team/country.

We were all excited to hear his sermon and so we had learned so many things today, from the importance of tithes and offering up to restoration. With that, we all felt blessed and joyful. For sure, we will never forget this wonderful experience in our life.

Who Am I

2006-11-06T22:16:00.000+08:00

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours

I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours

Birthday

2006-10-30T23:58:00.000+08:00

Birthday… How do you celebrate this special occasion? If you ask me, it’s just an ordinary day, most of the time I just want it to go by with no awareness…

Sunday before my birthday… I had a hard time waking up…but I got to go at the first service at church (I’ve invited my officemate/friend w/her family to come)… after the second service, I got really annoyed for time wasters attitude of citizenry…
At night few minutes before my birthday a blissful spirit came when I saw my crush (it has been several years).

Monday: A rainy, stormy, and windy birthday…

Thank you to all the people who greeted me! I really appreciate it.

One thing that surprised me the most is the text message from Sister Angie Tud & BCA kbarkada (My Christian friends from Rizal).

Just a forwarded message but it had a great impact on me:
“Our lives are like books, and each day is a page—you can’t erase what you’ve already written, but you can always try to create a happy ending…”

Thank you God for everything… you always surprise me…

2006-10-22T00:01:00.000+08:00

These past few weeks I’ve been really exhausted with my entire task… But God is really something… He helped me to survive one day at a time…

Today, I accidentally saw my friend Sharon today at starbucks when I was on my way out. We had a little chat; as a result I’m behind schedule for our carcell at church… There are things that I really can’t manage in doing at the same time…

Basketball

2006-10-06T23:20:00.000+08:00

Grand opening day for Basketball tournament at my work… it astonish me when I was chosen by one of the teams as their muse…

2006-09-18T23:49:00.000+08:00

Hard rainfall again today… floods everywhere again… luckily I got home early.
I planned to study for the night, but a sudden change in my schedule when my sister informed my about the Amazing Race (my vote goes to the 2 Koreans and the 2 model guys). Next thing I know I’m watching TV the whole night. Not just that I dreamt of becoming a TV host like those from wazzup wazzup, because acting/singing/dancing is not really my area at all… It’s hosting! I wonder if I can audition hahaha!

2006-09-16T23:35:00.000+08:00

I enjoyed the leadership conference that I attended today, especially the part of meeting new people from Section 2 AG (especially the companion of my group mates Ef and Grace, who happen that we all have the same personality).

Testimony

2006-09-10T20:50:00.000+08:00

For two weeks plus my schedule had been really hectic that I haven’t got enough sleep (2-5 hrs a day sleep). My brain and body is collapsing (working for 8-13hrs a day / 6days a week) plus other activities during the weekdays/weekend…

But each time I seek God for strength to go on… He always answers me as fast as a blink of an eye… Amazing!

Badminton

2006-08-23T22:55:00.000+08:00

Voice

2006-08-23T22:11:00.000+08:00

All day I’ve been bothered with so many things going through my mind. First I had another weird dream this morning I’m like superman doing everything I want, well that includes flying and using my super powers… While working, I’ve been talking to God, and He answered by a simple forwarded e-mail “Balancing TIME”. Then on my way home from badminton training/practice, I accidentally saw Pat at the LRT station staring “small world” I guess, but we went on separate area. All alone while on the train I can feel that God is telling me something about my future (not sure what it is). Back here at home while typing for my blog… AHHHH a small lizard appeared on top of my head, Yuck! Where does it come from??? Well this is my day...

Holiday

2006-08-21T23:17:00.000+08:00

It’s been several months since I last spent my entire day at home. I’m sleeping like a rock, eating like pig, and watching television (Disney channel) like a defunct being. Guess what happen… I had a “headache” and it looks like I’m getting a fever too. My dullard idea for a break… BUT, little miracles do happen by just a simple lift of FAITH. My older sister Zarah prayed for me, and now I’m mended. Thank God!

2006-07-22T22:51:00.000+08:00

Getting Our Attention

2006-07-21T23:43:00.000+08:00

Joel 2:13 "Return to the LORD your God, for He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and He relents from sending calamity. "

How far do you want God to go in getting your attention? If God has to choose between your eternal safety and your earthly comfort, which do you hope He chooses?

What if He moved you to another land? (As He did Abraham.) What if He called you out of retirement? (Remember Moses?) How about the voice of an angel or the bowel of a fish? (A la Gideon and Jonah.) How about a promotion like Daniel's or a demotion like Samson's?

God does what it takes to get our attention. Isn't that the message of the Bible? The relentless pursuit of God. God on the hunt. God in the search. Peeking under the bed for hiding kids, stirring the bushes for lost sheep.

Review Week

2006-04-24T21:18:00.000+08:00

I haven't got that much sleep, and more restless days to come... I'm exhausted.

Matthew 11:28
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

2.00

2006-04-23T01:17:00.000+08:00

I taking my sleeping time for studying, but I can’t seem to focus that much.
Our carecell topic was just new for me, and at that moment my brain just can’t think…
We were asked to grade (using college grading system 5lowest/1highest) our youth group as a whole. I graded it as 2.75 partly because of the people who first graded seem so low… But now I’ve realize that I should have graded it as 2.00. Its because people seem to focus of the bad side (I’m guilty of that), but never seem to highlight the good part, and still rooms for improvement is open.
It’s been a year now since my family and I started attending this church. I thank GOD for this family because through this I have grown spiritually, most especially by the BFGFC youth contributions.

Cavite Retreat 2006

2006-04-16T20:37:00.000+08:00

I have spent my entire holy week @ Silang Cavite. This is quite different from the last retreat I had 7 years ago. I had magnificent soothing time with the Lord and my church mates, especially during our youth extended worship. It revived me though not completely.

God’s message to me from our extended worship through Brother Patrick was:
“I see a big picture, and in front of me are dozens of white roses with only one red rose. You are that red rose, that’s how special you are to me. Come back to me my child, I miss you when you were a child. Go back from being a child.
In front of you is a big wall, don’t hide your face from the wall. Come back to me my child, come back.”

This is what I remembered from that night… I was really moved by God’s message, especially knowing how special I am that He chose me to be His child. When the message about the wall was mentioned, I was shocked because at that moment I’m thinking the same thing. I cried and felt that my entire body was shaking. The last time I bear in mind crying from worship service was last 3 months ago, since then on I’ve struggled spiritually. Indeed, this retreat experience is a refresher.

Now that I’m back here in Manila and moving on with my life, I would surely miss this retreat experience we had. I got sick because of the change in weather condition…
Two weeks from now I’ll be traveling again… hurray!

2006-04-09T23:00:00.000+08:00

My plan for this week-end didn’t really work-out “study”. I end up watching Smallville and Narnia.

Since last week I’ve been in the process of divergence decision. Few days left and apparently I have to settle my schedules… ah trips… Last thing I know, asking God yearning for a vacation; all of a sudden I’ve got trips in just one quarter, the most complicated… “It’s on the same date”.

Bowling

2006-04-08T12:15:00.000+08:00

My first tournament for bowling is finally over. So far my highest score for the whole tournament is 139 + 40 (handicap) = 179 points (last day in tournament w/ 5 spares and 1 strike). Not bad for a rookie (beginner).

Linguistic Architect

2006-04-02T22:40:00.000+08:00

I took the Super IQ test @ tickle yesterday.

The result: I'm a Linguistic Architect.

Your test results indicate that the way you process information makes you a Linguistic Architect.You are brilliant with language and words. You are also very skilled at understanding things on an abstract or conceptual level. When you combine those two skills you are bound to communicate or create something new and complex. This set of strengths (referred to as 'abstract reasoning,' meaning you have a flair for the intangible, intellectual, theoretical approach to life) allows you to understand math and science on a 'gut' level, even if the actual numerical math and science equations don't come easy. This gut-level understanding is typically enough to get you through without needing all of the details. You would probably do well as a writer of some kind or an author whose job it is to get difficult concepts across skillfully.

Your top scores are in the areas of Mechanical, Organizational, and Logical. This is a very unusual combination — only 6 in 1,000 people have it. Want more proof? Then pay attention to the percentages of people who scored higher and lower than you on each of the 8 intellectual strengths.

2006-04-02T22:36:00.000+08:00

My Daughter,

If you lack wisdom, you need only to ask Me and I will give it to you, for I give good gifts to My children. Wisdom is the principle thing, so get wisdom. It is more valuable than money, status, fame, or fortune. So let you heart retain My words, for they contain seeds of supernatural wisdom that will be planted in your heart.

-God

2006-04-02T22:19:00.000+08:00

Yesterday I got my rest day. I can't imagine when was the last time I spent the entire day at home... I guess it's been more than a year now, and I had a total of 17 hours of sleep :)

Voice Of Truth

2006-03-30T21:41:00.000+08:00

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves

To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
And He's holding out His hand

But the waves are calling out my name
And they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again. "Boy, you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"

Chorus:
But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says, "Do not be afraid!
"The voice of truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant
With just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out my name
And he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
Time and time again. "Boy you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"

But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don't seem so high
From on top of them lookin' down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me

I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

Yesterday my youth group and I played badminton for several hours… now my legs hurt ahhhh… its been 10 months since I last played (I think)… truly annoying to get up early from bed and go to work (even hard to walk), especially wearing business attire w/ skirt and high hills w/ pointed shoes…

2006-03-22T23:56:00.000+08:00

This week is just too convoluted and creepy….. Imagine today is just Wednesday and everyday seems like a sequence… I wonder why ?…

The Amazing Race of My Life with Jesus

2006-03-20T23:19:00.000+08:00

Life is worthless if you don’t have Jesus. My occupation as a child of God is to abide by His command… 1st pit stop for our Oikos in “Metro Manila” (planted a seed in their heart hoping it would grow taller), 2nd Pit stop this coming July 2006 “Davao Trip”… please pray for Me and My Sister Zarah to be fully equip as we go and share His word (also for our Oikos to open their heart for Jesus)… the 3rd pit stop is yet to come…

2006-03-17T23:49:00.000+08:00

Can't get on track with my schedule... Until now I'm having trouble fixing it up. Last week I barely have the time even to sleep... I've been suffocated with all the things I need to do, ending up with few results. This morning, the Lord had clearly opened my mind... As I walk to the office the wind suddenly blow, it seems different from anything I've ever felt. Somehow I knew that the presence of God was with me and He is leading me into something for the future...

As for the future plans... so far what I have now is just for the half year... five to ten years from now I still don't know... I guess everything would be in God's time.

2006-02-25T22:53:00.000+08:00

25FEB. today hmmm…. I spent 12 hours of sleep. We watch Smallville, after that we went to practice at church for the anniversary (play).

24FEB. this is an eccentric day indeed. I don’t know why but I really felt that I shouldn’t go bowling that day. Precisely speaking our bowling tournament was cancelled that day due to the recent event happening in our gov’t. We were dismissed early around 3PM at work, and when I got down from the building I saw a huge crowd of police, not just that I saw tourist waiting for the main event to occur “the RALLY” in opposition to the president… The president declared that day a State of Emergency...

23FEB. after work we gathered around and ate dinner we call it “THE LAST SUPPER” with Richelle, before she departs. We spend the dinner @ Kwang Tong Restaurant (near Oakwood Hotel); then we preceded @ Starbucks. FUN! FUN! FUN!

Marvelous Weekend

2006-02-19T22:34:00.000+08:00

First stop… Friday night bowling tournament day, we won three games in a row 3-0! Great! It’s Saturday finally the day I’ve been waiting for all week… I met with my friend Richelle, this time I brought her to my church in Binondo (BFGFC) that’s the least I could do before she leave to Japan perhaps next week to be with her family. We had so much fun “All Out Praise & Worship” to GOD (APAW night). After that we took her to a Chinese Restaurant (It’s her first time to be in China Town Binondo).

Today Sunday, this is the day when God’s plan changes my Sunday routine… He told me this time I want you to attend this church in Greenhills (Bethany)… I got an invitation from my manager at work “It’s the church 15th Anniversary”. Three people who made testimony: Two from their church and one was the special guess - the son of the famous actor here in country (used to be an actor himself), his name is Rodolfo Dolphy Quizon Jr. He was convicted in prison for “Life time imprisonment” for the multiple homicides (six people died at that time - burned). He accepted Jesus Christ through a simple TV show. Now he had travelled all over the country and abroad to testify, and the rest is history...

Are you ready?

2006-02-15T21:30:00.000+08:00

On my way to office, while I’m inside the train… gazing upon the heavenly sky starring at the clouds as it covers the sun. I saw a portion from the clouds were in the sun partly appeared… nothing really special, but as my eyes focus on the beautiful view, the sun and the clouds together they formed a small HEART. Then these verses flashed over me:

Matthew 24:27

For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

Matthew 24:30-31

(30)"At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. (31)And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

His Love

2006-02-14T23:40:00.000+08:00

My Daughter,

You are a treasure to Me of the greatest value. My love for you far exceeds anything of measure. It is more vast than the oceans, more immeasurable than the sands near the sea. I love you with an everlasting love. I want to hear about your dreams and share all of your life with you. I knew you before you were born, and I have great plans for you. I will never leave you and love you throughout eternity.

-God

Infilling of the Lord's oil to my lamp

2006-02-09T23:43:00.000+08:00

It’s been a week now since I last touch my PC. I have bunch of unread e-mails… I’ve been busy based on my own strength and disobedience with the Lord God…

Two weeks had past since my last struggle; I’ve been spiritually down but last week Thursday I’ve somewhat been revive from attending Worship XP at ACCM… But still something is missing.
I’ve found out why from the life Book of Brother Yun “The Heavenly Man”… I’ve learned that I have been burn out. Going to church; attending church service and carecells; training for church ministry service; and trying to share the gospel to my oikos. Doing all these things I have been emotionally and spiritually exhausted as if you were to ask I’m just starting out as a growing Christian… and yet the devil is trying to pull me out of it.

Then again God reminded me through:

Isaiah 30:15 This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: "In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it. "

Isaiah 30:18 "Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; He rises to show you compassion. For the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!"

Now, I know what I needed the most is to spent time with Him alone and read more of His word.

True Color Test by Tickle

2006-02-09T23:40:00.000+08:00

What's Your True Color?

Just took the test from tickle today...

You're brown, a credible, stable color that's reminiscent of fine wood, rich leather, and wistful melancholy. Most likely, you're a logical, practical person ruled more by your head than your heart. With your inquisitive mind and insatiable curiosity, you're probably a great problem solver. And you always gather all of the facts before coming to a timely, informed decision. Easily intrigued, you're constantly finding new ways to challenge your mind, whether it's by reading the newspaper, playing a trivia game, or composing a piece of music. Brown is an impartial, neutral color, which means you tend to see the difference between fact and opinion easily and are open to many points of view. Trustworthy and steady, you really are a brown at heart.

I wonder when will I have my own...

The Armor of God

2006-01-29T22:09:00.000+08:00

People have their own frustration… Mine would we misspelled name and wrong bdate… Anyway, you wouldn’t understand what I mean by this… But since last Thursday I’m spiritually low all through out, and I don’t know why. I just recently discovered that something is really wrong but I can’t figure out what. After our carecell yesterday, God spoke to me again during night season (dream)… here it goes…

(Dream 1) A lady in black (unseen by naked eye), want to kill me and my entire family, doing what ever tricks she knows to do her evil desire just to fulfill her will. She uses poisons, and every trap she could… but I am very much aware what she’s doin’ and I’m trying everything to be very careful… (Then I woke up)....

(Dream 2) Their was a taxi cab driver planted a bomb in a mall where my sisters are… while I am in the parking lot he confess everything to me, and desiring to kill a lot of people, I’ve tried to call the mall office and inform them about it, and my sisters as well… it was terrible… but before any blasting thing could happen, everyone got out… (Then I woke up)…

Thinking what these dreams means… while walking to church this morning, God lead me to: Ephesians 6:10-20 The Armor of God

(10)Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. (11)Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. (12)For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. (13)Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. (14)Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, (15)and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. (16)In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. (17)Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. (18)And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
(19)Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, (20)for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

What’s going on with your mind?

2006-01-24T20:58:00.000+08:00

A friend asks me once what’s going on with your mind. Huh? What’s wrong with me really? One minute I’m thinking about the movie that I recently watch, one minute something else pup up to my mind again… It’s just too complicated even for me.

At night season, were in I’m in my deepest sleep I dream a lot, almost every night not just once but sometimes as many as three dreams in one night. Dreams that are vivid, or some are perplex that needed to be interpreted.

Once in my dream, I ask God something (I mean personally talking to Him through dreams), and He just response back and answered my question. Too overly exaggerate huh… But do you know what when I woke up and got to work, I ask God while praying “Is He really the One who spoke to me from my dream”… So I decided to open my Bible but not the usual way (checking to the verses for the day to read), instead looking upward and opening it without knowing what verse He would lead me. The first chapters I read it felt like this isn’t the answer it’s not even related to my question, and so I’ve tried doing it again. To my surprise I was led to Job 33:1-18

(1)"But now, Job, listen to my words; pay attention to everything I say. (2)I am about to open my mouth; my words are on the tip of my tongue. (3)My words come from an upright heart; my lips sincerely speak what I know. (4)The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life. (5)Answer me then, if you can; prepare yourself and confront me. (6)I am just like you before God; I too have been taken from clay. (7)No fear of me should alarm you, nor should my hand be heavy upon you.
(8) "But you have said in my hearing— I heard the very words- (9)'I am pure and without sin; I am clean and free from guilt. (10)Yet God has found fault with me; he considers me his enemy. (11) He fastens my feet in shackles; he keeps close watch on all my paths.' (12)"But I tell you, in this you are not right, for God is greater than man. (13)Why do you complain to him that he answers none of man's words? (14)For God does speak—now one way, now another— though man may not perceive it. (15)In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men as they slumber in their beds, (16)he may speak in their ears and terrify them with warnings, (17) to turn man from wrongdoing and keep him from pride, (18)to preserve his soul from the pit, his life from perishing by the sword.

What do you think? Do you have the same experience or you dream a lot too? I’ve read some Christian Books about dreams, and God is the only one who can answer these things…

Thank You Lord Jesus!

2006-01-19T22:47:00.000+08:00

I had an astonishing experience again with the Lord today. He is so marvelous and powerful... I felt His presence so much that tears from my eyes just keep on flowing again… Now, I am a vessel for GOD to spread His word to my Oikos and to the rest of Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth… Thank you Abba Father for answering my prayers, finally my friend Richelle is with your holy presence, and my heart is overflowing with gladness.

Yesterday I’ve learned a lot from our training for ministry service. Abba Father GOD, please open my eyes and let me see through your eyes. How magnificent that could be…

JESUS is the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE

2006-01-16T23:18:00.000+08:00

Last weekend I had several appointments… but things turn out good especially last Sunday when my sister and I went to Bulacan for family reunion right after we attended the Sunday church service… nice! God’s power is really working… slowly but surely. John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

God is Awesome!

2006-01-09T21:40:00.000+08:00

Just got an invitation letter from ASCM, I wonder what God had installed for me…. On the same way I’m happy that my friend from work Richelle decided to go with me to ASCM. Abba Father touch her heart, may your GOOD NEWS be spread to all nations!

This morning I’m so depressed, but God whispered to me and He told me to read the Memory Verse for this week: Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Truly God is awesome!

THE CALL

2006-01-05T23:15:00.000+08:00

Today I had a revival for God. My day is just plain and simple as it used to be… work, I had to finish everything on time today just like I did yesterday… everything seems doing find, an officemate just treat us some snack break for the celebration of his birthday… Anyway, it’s almost 5PM and I still have lots of things to do, how in the world I could finish rapidly and accurately. But by the grace of God I finished it at last.

After work, I’m rushing to go to the church at ASCM. Just arrive on time, before it actually started. I had a nice greeting from the guard as I entered the place. When I sat down the chair, I was just reading their flyers… and a Pastor approach me with the nice welcome of Happy New Year. I did respond the same way… praise and worship was about to start, but first we had a group by group prayer as usual… then we sang songs of praise for God. I’m not use to sing in Filipino language (first few songs where in Filipino), but what a heck I’m doing this for God. But it’s not all Filipino anyway, a lot where in English… As we sing songs as loud as it was, the church was just filled with His Holy Spirit, I heard a lot of people speaking in tongues and even on my left side (back) a woman keep to screaming really loud (it looks like that she didn’t have the strength to stand up any longer), church leaders did accompanied her… Anyway, everyone was just singing none stop and praising God. It felt really awesome!

Then we had gone to our usual Bible reading, tithes and offering, prayer… Then the Pastor sermon’s started. At first, I got tired and really sleepy, but I’ve tried to manage and keep myself awake. We read the book of Isaiah 6:1-8 "1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. 3 And they were calling to one another: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory." 4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke. 5 "Woe to me!" I cried. "I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty." 6 Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 With it he touched my mouth and said, "See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for." 8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"

After the sermon, the Pastor that greeted me I first came in, well his is the same guy that led us to approach the altar calling… It’s not the usual thing for salvation type, but it is an act of devotion, obedience, commitment to God. Something that I felt like pushing to go in front, first I hesitate but then I just bravely and boldly to go in front and answer THE CALL from God. I don’t know what it is for now, but it will be revealed in God’s perfect time on His Will.

Do you know what happen after that, I felt so happy until I got back home; I keep on smiling none stop. It was just great! Oh yeah, have you ever seen the moon smile? Well, I did at it was wherever I am as I go back home, not just that it is place in front of me (middle – pointing directly to where I am). It’s somewhat hard to explain in words…

God Bless! This is the year of our LORD! Work with the power and the anointing of GOD.

2006-01-02T20:24:00.000+08:00

This pass few weeks I’ve been craving for food. I’m just hungry; I eat a lot though… not that obvious, but people at work are really amazed when they first saw me how many I can eat… especially during parties… Just like yesterday breakfast first before going out (mom’s rule). After that we all went to church to attend the Sunday Service, but just the start of the service I’m starving again… Got dizzy and I almost fainted luckily my sister just gave me candy to eat. But at the end of the service I ask my older sister to buy me some French Fries.

Just this afternoon while working, I felt something different in a one click; I don’t know why… I’m just too happy… Maybe it’s just the start of a bright new year for me… who knows.

Happy New Year!

2006-01-01T20:48:00.000+08:00

Today is the first day of the year. I wonder what God had installed for me this year…

If I could remember it right this is the first year that I actually have a new year’s resolution… Now, I just started reading the Bible using the Bible Reading Plan for the first time, hopefully I could finish to whole book from old to new testament. Last year my target was just the New Testament, and I was able to do it. This time: New Year, New Day, and New Mission, but all for the glory of GOD.

By the way, thank you to all my readers all over the world. God Bless you!

Amazing Life Testimony

2005-12-30T13:48:00.001+08:00

This morning, I want to stay in bed and sleep more... greatly strain (got home almost midnight yesterday from work). But God persistently waking me, I don’t know why but I obeyed Him. After I got up too lazy enough I just open the television. That very moment God spoke to me through the host and guest of the show “Joni”…. Telling me “Trust in Me”. Then I just keep on watching and watching until the next show and to the other… I’ve been renewed and one of the greatest testimonies in life that I ever heard in my entire life was from Joan Pearce. Can you imagine a woman who doesn’t know how to read, who doesn’t know that she was posses by the demon, who was sexually abuse by her stepfather at the age of seven, who have two young boys and a baby on the way out in the street with no money at all.
Just click here look for Joan Pearce (as guest - Dec.26,2005 - Jan 1, 2006) and try to listen to her story yourself... how God had changed her life completely.

Happy Birthday Jesus Christ!

2005-12-24T21:07:00.000+08:00

A few hours left before Christmas. This time of the season when most people gather together to celebrate with their family and friends, giving gifts, dinner together for Noche Buena, and going to church. My family and I celebrated Christmas by giving praise and worship to God and Bible study together. For me it’s the best Christmas we had together.

Year 2005 for me and my family is the best year that we ever had in our entire life … and more to come. Why? It’s because we had experience the love of God. This year we had encountered those hardest trials so far. Since God is all mighty, He had showed us His love that we could ever imagine with abundant grace. We had found Jesus Christ long ago but we got lost through the years pass by. Now thanks to Him we have been found, He had been guiding us towards the right road where He wanted us to go.

Abba Father, thank you so much for everything. To my family, relatives, friends, officemates, brothers and sisters in Christ may GOD BLESS YOU! Merry Christmas!

A Totally New Direction

2005-12-19T23:32:00.000+08:00

Follow Him, Christ demands that we must first get rid of whatever occupies the center of our life. Having surrendered the center of our life to Christ, other things will fall into place. Having given Christ the center, the peripheral areas will just follow. On the other hand, we cannot surrender the secondary areas of our life to Christ and keep the center for the one thing that is most important to us. Christ will have nothing of that. He is either the unquestioned authority in out life or He is really not part of our life at all. To keep Christ out of a part of your life is to keep Him out of your life. Following Christ is a total commitment, never a partial one. You cannot trust Christ as your Savior and at the same time deliberately keep him out as Lord.

Its Christmas Party time again after a half day work, need to practice for the contest modeling “Rampa” for Christmas Presentation per Dept. Dinner time… we were all dressed up on a Costume (me – as one of the lost boys of Peter Pan) @ Dusit Hotel in Ayala Makati. The party was great (people dressed up life Lord of the Rings, X-men, Pinoy Teleserye, Harry Potter, Peter Pan… etc.) but there is something missing….??? The real reason for Christmas, its Jesus Christ and not the outfit / food / gifts or even the party itself…

Wednesday. We have a little celebration during snack time (winning 4th place at Bulletin Board Contest announce last night during the party).

4 Steps to God

2005-12-06T23:04:00.000+08:00

(1) God Loves You!

The Bible says, "God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life"

The good news is that, approximately 2,000 years ago,

(2) All of us have sinned and our sins have separated us from God. .

Sin is doing, saying, or thinking things that are wrong. The Bible says “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” God is perfect and holy, and our sins separate us from God forever. The Bible says “The wages of sin is death.”

The good news is that, about 2,000 years ago,

(3) God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins.

Jesus lived a sinless life and then died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. “God demonstrates His own love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us."

Jesus rose from the dead, and now He offers us the gift of living forever with Him in heaven. Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by Me."

God reaches out in love to you and wants you to be His child. "As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe on His name."

(4) If you want to accept Christ as your Savior and Lord, you can pray this prayer.

"Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. Please forgive my sins and give me the gift of eternal life. Thank You that I am now a child of God. I want to serve You always."

Memory Verse for the week

2005-12-04T18:28:00.000+08:00

I John 4:18

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

2005-11-28T23:41:00.000+08:00

Shopping is fun and yet too tiring. After that my sister and I visited my grandmother, it’s been more than a year now since I last saw her. Glad to know that she was alright, sad that we haven’t shared the God News Yet. Abba Father please open her heart to know you and please use me to tell her about Jesus.

2005-11-28T10:15:00.000+08:00

I had a blast last night. The Korean series that were watching is really good entitled “Only You” (haven’t shown on TV yet). The story mainly revolves around “cooking and …”

This morning when I got up I felt peeved, we were supposed to have an outing today and next thing I know last night only very few peeps are coming. I guess I’m just fed up, tired of planning an event… seems that it never really worked out. Then I decided to go out by myself (shopping)… gladly my sister and her friend Anna decided to come with me… I just don’t want to stay here at home (I rarely have a long break like this).

Memory Verse for the week

2005-11-27T16:34:00.000+08:00

John 16:13

But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.

We Were The Reason

2005-11-16T21:36:00.000+08:00

As little children
We would dream of Christmas morn
Of all the gifts and toys
We knew we'd find
But we never realized
A baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives

We were the reason
That He gave His life
We were the reason
That He suffered and died
To a world that was lost
He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

As the years went by
We learned more about gifts
The giving of ourselves
And what that means
On a dark and cloudy day
A man hung crying in the rain
All because of love, all because of love

I've finally found the reason for living
It's in giving every part of my heart to Him
In all that I do every word that I say
I'll be giving my all just for Him, for Him

He is my reason to live

Last week, my family and I had been through a real tough trials… First our dog died… we thought that was it but then the following news had bumped us real hard. I do not know how we can survive these challenges that come to our lives. The news I heard last Saturday had sucked my strength and I can’t even talk about it, and tears just keep on dropping. But for all these things, I just want to say THANK YOU to my young professionals’ carecell group and to YOU Father GOD, JESUS CHRIST, & HOLY SPIRIT, for the Love & Compassion. Singing praise & worship songs; praying, I felt much better now more than I could ever imagine. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!

Well on the other hand, I’ve learn a lot from the Membership class that I attended last Sunday same goes with the Church Service. I'm really praying I could attend the The Power of Prayer this 25-27NOV...

2005-11-09T22:04:00.000+08:00

The day I met you...

I went home and heared a voice. I wonder were does it coming from, so I followed it. Immediately when I saw you I grabbed you with my arm. You were just three months old then, and very cute looking. Through the seven years of being a part of our family, I will never forget your laugh/smile, stubbornness, demands, loyalty, friendliness, obedient sometimes, brilliancy, but most of all your love and protection.

But now it's time to say GOOD BYE. We will always love you and treasure your memories.
THANK YOU for being a part of our family!

Father God, THANK YOU for allowing him to be a part of our family!

Memory Verse for the week

2005-11-06T20:45:00.000+08:00

John 16:33

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

2005-11-04T22:37:00.000+08:00

Thank you Lord, I just wanna thank you Lord... Finally my dog is healed.

James 5:13-17

13 Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. 14 Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

2005-11-03T22:44:00.000+08:00

I’m grieving with sadness and tears in my eyes, as I face this ruffian trial. Losing something that I cherish over the past 7 years, and now the time is almost up, I don’t know what to do nor how to respond... I need God to cover me His love and build me with emotional strength.

2005-11-01T22:45:00.000+08:00

Finally I have a rest day today; I’ve been spending only a few hours at home, and barely have rest all week. I hope that I could finish all the work on time. Father thank you so much for giving me all the strength I need to go through these gainsays…

It's my Birthday!

2005-10-30T21:26:00.000+08:00

Last week, OVERTIME at work… spending only 7hrs at home (that includes bath, sleep, breakfast, and so…)

Saturday, a day before my Birthday… During lunch break we all went to Tokyo Tokyo to treat my officemates (whole group)… I requested everyone to use chopsticks… hahaha
Around 4:45PM I arrived at church for carecell, after that the girls and I ate at Golden Fortune… at the same time it’s my Barkada reunion from HS (same place)…

Today its Sunday my birthday… I’m over fatigue and yet for me this is the BEST Birthday Celebration I ever had, after the Church service we all ate lunch at KFC, and attended the "Thirst for More - The S2CA Youth All-out Praise and Worship Series" at Caloocan Bethel Assembly of God. It was another amazing experience… “specially on my birthday”. Thanks for all the people who remembered my birthday!

Memory Verse for the week

2005-10-30T21:19:00.000+08:00

John 8:31-32
31To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

2005-10-23T21:44:00.000+08:00

Thursday, while I’m busy at work, my sister suddenly called just to inform me that our dog (now 7 yrs plus) is almost blind… How bizarre is that? …after I heard the bad news what can I do, I wanted to take him to vet immediately and get him operated or something…
That day I had plans to attend the church service at ASCM, but I ended up spending my evening at work and got home late…

Friday, here comes Survivor… I didn’t have the chance to watch it AGAIN…

Saturday, got up early in the morning reading, internet as usual… in the afternoon I was late for my drums lesson… sorry Kim.

Together with our BFGFC youth, we all went to Bay break at Baywalk, Star City, and CCP. At the same time studio 23 is celebrating their anniversary (people…people…people), and we ended up home around 11:00PM.

Sunday, church service at BFGFC… Mission? Hmmm… It seems that God is speaking to me every time I’ve read it in His word (Bible), in Christian book, heard from the message at the service.
These past few days I’ve learn so many things…One of the most important things I’ve learned from Tim LaHaye: People who enjoy life are not “living tomorrow” or worrying about yesterday; they are living today. If you are thinking about the potential problems and difficulties you might encounter tomorrow, you will naturally become fearful—unless you have a deep, abiding faith in God’s ability to supply all your needs. That’s not it; Satan tries to crash our spirit by getting us to bear tomorrow’s problems with only today’s grace. So I guess live your life to the fullest by bringing glory to God, worship and serve him, be the best that God wants us to be. Do not indulge with the fear to serve Him but be filled with the spirit.

Memory Verse for the week

2005-10-23T20:16:00.000+08:00

John 3:17-18

17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.

DARE TO RUN

2005-10-23T20:00:00.000+08:00

The assembly of the faithful surrounding yet unseen
Is gathered as a witness to the race
And on the track awaiting are the runners of today
The call has come for each to take his place.

The road ahead is narrow, the way is sometimes steep
And only the committed claim the prize.
But standing at the finish with arms outstretched to greet us
Is the One who has endured the race and paid the final price.

Dare to run with our eyes fixed on Jesus
Following the footsteps for the One who's gone before us
Dare to run in the power of His spirit
Called to be victors in a race already won;
Dare to run.

We must have our Savior's vision, compassion for the lost;
Courage for the future, Love at any cost.

-Harian Moore and Joel E. Smith

Psalm 23

2005-10-22T10:27:00.000+08:00

A psalm of David

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,

he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD.

2005-10-19T22:33:00.000+08:00

Tonight I left the office at around 7:30PM (Missed again amazing race – what’s with Wednesday) got home 1 ½ hour after. A long the way, whole I’m in a bus… I accidentally over heard the conversation of the girl seated beside me… She was so upset and depressed (crying). I couldn’t help it; I felt that God wanted me to tell her that God loves her no matter what… For minutes I’ve been stunned… I do not know what to do, but to pray… A strong courageous sensation arouse within me, I approach her asking… “Are you ok?” Deep inside I wanted to ask her more, to tell her about the good news… But I got no response from her… the bus stop and we had to go…

I remembered before… I had the quite the same experience. I visited my friend in Ortigas… after her work we went directly to Megamall to check-out some books. Astonished, I saw a man (wearing an old casual attire with his bag pack – typical poor guy) reading wide open a big Bible inside the National Bookstore.
My friend and I left the store after that… But I felt something different than ever… it seems that God wanted to do something. He wants me to be the blessing for this guy… and so my friend and I got back into the bookstore (still the guy is reading the Bible).
I bought it (only a smaller one), and gave him the Book. At first I do not know how to approach they guy, but I am filled with God’s presence as doing so…
He never looks nor said anything as he took the Bible with him. But as for me it was an amazing experience. I did felt happy and fulfilled.

Thank you for everything Father. This week I’ve been asking You what should I do… You gave me your answer through my dreams... unversed in a jargon of Your nonmenclature. Now You gave me the knowledge, and aroused my spirit that I needed to eat more… I’ve learn through our short but fruitful carecell one way of learning is to take down notes as I read Your word. Thank You Father, truly You are superb!

Have you heard the One called Saviour?
Have you heard of his perfect love?
Have you heard of the One in heaven?
Have you heard how He gave His son?
Cause I have found this love
And I believe in The Son
Show me Your way
I believe in the One called
I believe He's the Risen One
I believe that I'll live forever
I believe that the King will come
Cause I have found this love
And I believe in The Son
Show me Your way
Jesus You are my best friend
And You will always be
And nothing will ever change that
And nothing will ever change that
And nothing will ever change that
And nothing will ever change that

Today, I got home late again… Even though it was a weary day, I’m in a state of felicity from my work… When I got home, it was the half of the game in survivor… I don’t know how to react regarding the elimination round. I guess… I still don’t know who my bet to win…is

Yesterday, I went to ASCM after work to attend the service. Glad I’m not late even though I had so much work to do. It was raining that night, but it didn’t hinder me to go to church. The service starts at 6:00 – 8:00PM, this time that usual stage set up change from the last time I attended. This was my third time to attend… anyway we all started singing praises, the area where people are jumping, clapping, singing out loud, dancing… where I did a little of all of that. It was sure nice to be bold in praising God. It lasted for 1 hour and 20 mins. not the usual time of 1 hour, and after that the offering and sermon started. The sermon was short but it gives outstanding instructions from the Lord.
It’s about “Practical Christian Living” from Hebrews 12:14-15.
1) Make every effort to live in peace with all men.
2) Be holy (without holiness no one will see the Lord).
3) See that no one misses the grace of God.
4) Flee sexual immorality.

Last Wednesday, I had the exciting experience with the Lord that day. For the past 5 months and so…. I always took the LRT off to work. Early in the morning around 6:30 – 7:00AM I usually arrived at LRT station. Traveling in the morning is more convenient rather meeting the rush hour. That morning the LRT station were filled with people, not just that people couldn’t get in and were already blocked by the guards. Well, I’m one of those… we stayed at the stairs waiting for a go signal to get in. Time is running out, I don’t want to be late at my Bible reading time before starting to work. Then I prayed to God, after that very moment, the guards let us all in as the train arrives. With full of people in the train still it won’t move to let the next train come. Then I tried to check on my favorite spot in the train, amazingly I saw a space in which I’m the only one who can manage to get in and I did, after that the doors closed and move on.

By that I was able to arrive at the office 35mins earlier. God really works His ways, for He deserves all the glory and praises.

Its amazing race time… sad that my second bet the Rogers Family were eliminated. Hmmm…

Today I got a good lead off from work and able to finish early. The nice thing was I am able to help out my mom in dishwashing. While I was doing some household chores, my dad suddenly called me up pointing at the television, guessing what that is… I saw my cousin again, being interviewed by a news caster, his giving ideas or laws regarding rallies in public places… As for me, I do agree with him I don’t want those rallies to be in public places like business district in Ayala, because it squanders my time and effort with my travel hours. I’m not in favor of anyone in politics, but if ever they want to voice out their opinions it’s completely fine (it’s a democratic country anyway), as long as it’s in the right time and place.

I had to checkout the date for our Ice Skating with the youth at church because I needed to make sure I could attend. So, last night I called my aunt to verify the date for our family reunion, we do this every Sunday nearest to 26OCT. It’s my grandfather’s death anniversary. My aunt told me she’s planning to schedule it on 30OCT together with the celebration of me and my cousin’s birthday. Our birthday’s is not on the same date, it’s just that we always celebrate it together since hers is next to mine. But if I were asked, I don’t like to attend the reunion myself. I had other important schedule on that date, I wanted to attend the “Thirst for More” praise and worship series. I do need to ascertain my time.

Any how, my aunt asks me regarding my love life…. Hmmm… Huh? My love life, oh… hehehe, I’m now turning a year older this month, but I’m happy doing God’s work even though I’m single. I know the right person will come in God’s perfect timing.

..........Dreams..........

Today, I finished my work early and able to come home on time. Thank God. I’m thinking on what to write and I guess something that tells about the book that I’m reading, entitled “Exploring the World of Dreams” by Benny Thomas. I’ve learned so many things about dreams and interpretation of it. At first, I was question by our Youth Pastor Patrick when were having a midnight snack at Iceberg… Does the book contain Christian literature? Then things turned around differently as I started to ask myself, but as I read on, I got the answer… YES this book contains Christian literature. What about it?… Well thoughts came to my mind, I been dreaming almost everyday in a week, even before I started reading this book, and I wonder is God talking to me in dreams. I sure want to know more…
